Abigail Solomon Even if the Internet has preserved things from the 2000’s, there will ALWAYS be things that are unearthed that will send people on nostalgic trips. Life moves faster than ever these days. People tend to forget things sooner because there’s always something new. People will still want to see what ever happened to their favorite stars from the 2000s era. I’ve seen mid 20 somethings get all nostalgic over something called Zabobabfoo (I’m sure I spelled that wrong! Lol). I’m 35, so it’s not from my era. BUT, I’ve seen people pull up Zabowhatever on their phones, show me what their talking about, and get super nostalgic about it. NEVER underestimate the power of nostalgia. I feel like there’s only one thing that’ll change, in terms of nostalgia. Back in the day, their were highly advertised tv specials that brought the cast of classic tv shows back together on stage. Or retrospective specials on network tv (and major cable channels) hosted by the stars themselves. These days, it’s about logging on to TH-cam (or your social media platform of choice), scrolling through the home page, seeing something and going, “WTF! When did they get back together!” “I didn’t know he was still working!” “OMG! I used to love (fill in the blank). I thought he was dead!” *puts on Watch Later list* I feel like something along those lines will become the way nostalgia works as time goes on. Nostalgia will never go out of style for one important reason. People tend to look at the present and see a lot of wrong in it, while longing for the “good old days” that never really existed. But those memories of sitting in front of a tv, with a big bowl of cereal, while watching Rocket Power or Arthur are incredibly powerful. You may think this sounds crazy because of the times we’re living, but people will get nostalgic about these times, ten to fifteen years from now. Just like people are getting nostalgic about the 2000’s. Calling them simpler times. 9/11. Anthrax. The rise in Muslim hate. Bush and his color coded threat alerts. Women being afraid of dating DL men. It goes on and on. When the nostalgia hits...it’s the cartoons. TV shows. The pop music scene at the time. The fashion. I could go on about the 90’s and 80’s too. Nostalgia will never die.
Yep I agree 100% mostly cause things will always on record for the later years. I mean there will be others who will record things they loved while others won't do as much and they'll want to trade with others.
No, certain eras will become less marketable, but there will always be types of thingd from different eras people will look back on with nostalgia. Those generations will change over time and in 2020s what will be nostalgic will be the 90s and 2000s
Nemo Dollaz That, I believe. There’s always gonna be generations who’ll want to relive their childhood memories from happier times, as they get older. Nostalgia won’t end with the 90s. In later decades, we’ll get people looking to the 2000s and 2010s by the time we get to the 2030s at least. Taste in nostalgia marketability doesn’t stagnate.
1:46 "How come there's never been a 1920's revival?" There was one. In the 1950's and '60's. Movies like Some Like It Hot and The Great Race, the Marx Brothers coming back into style, and Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington had late-career success.
Chuckie Gravestone, no he was not. He said nostalgia comes in generational waves. The 1970's were nostalgic for the 50's and he mentioned this in the video.
People will always be nostalgic about the decades they grew up in - In the 2000s it was for the 1970s and 1980s In the 2010s it is for the 1980s and 1990s In the 2020s it will be for the 1990s and 2000s so on so forth My cousins - girls, 8 and 10 - absolutely love Rey from the new Star Wars movies My other cousins - boys, 10 and 12 - were enthralled by Black Panther So think that this monoculture that you speak of still exists We'll still never get a competent Dragon Ball movie, which is what I want to see
In the 70s there was nostalgia for the 50s...in the 80s there was nostalgia for the 60s...in the 90s there was nostalgia for the 70s...it will continue.
My puzzlement to how nostalgia for the early 2000's is 'going to look like', b/c I do hope that there would not be moves as irresponsible as over-shadowing 9-11 and the impact/ripple effects it had which are still very much ongoing ..monocultures being shaken and identity politics arising being one example. ..I wonder if ‘content which raised’ persons born in the early 2000’s who will enter the entertainment industry in their 20’s and 30’s will include references to 9-11 in the same way :I ?.. ___ 4:04-4:13 "..the power of nostalgia is in our own imperfect memories we can't remember every single detail of our past but nostalgia isn't about the details it's about the experience it's about how those times fell not how they actually happen" I like that part about the 90’s being ‘well preserved’ mentioned. What was brought up in this video is why I am skeptical as to how the later parts of ‘Phase 4’ is going to fare for Marvel and if a ‘Phase 5’ would really be worthwhile. Preservation of the past isn’t as much of an issue once we get into the beginning of this century and the internet being a more relevant factor… "..what would a 2010 throwback even look like?, there's no such thing as the zeitgeist anymore” ;) ^_^
Maybe I'm dumb but I feel like he contradicted himself. Iirc he mentions vhs recordings and the 90s being well preserved and whatnot, but then discounts any nostalgia in the internet age because it is so preserved by the internet, and you are just a click away from seeing it exactly. You can say the same thing with the 90s with the VHS recordings by that logic right.
I don’t think the 90’s are the end. The 2000’s are a gold mine of pop culture references and poor fashion sense just like every other decade but I don’t think we’ll see a 00’s craze but after 2025 Even this decade has madness imbedded we just need time to see it from far away and miss it
Here are some 10s memories, for the better or for the worse: 1. TH-cams golden era 2. Pewdiepie 3. Minecraft, especially Minecraft. I really feel like it's this era's Mario. 4. Justin Bieber 5. Katy Perry 6. Taylor Swift 7. Obama 8. Instagram 9. New Wave of Hiphop 10. Fortnite 11. GTA 12. Jake Paul 13. James Charles 14. Team Ten 15. TikTok
@@erikeriks There is nothing on your list that has the slightest potential of becoming nostalgic enough at any point in time to create a significantly impactful revival.
that being said the actuality of nostalgia itself will indeed continue on. the same way recording music with a stylus and diaphragm was said to herold the end of live music back in the 1800s this accurate digital recollection will not kill anything it will just reframe how it's digested and internalized by those who wish to return to a time of perceived simplicity and comfort
Tell that to Teen Titans, Firefly, Emo hair and clothing, etc. There's plenty of stuff from the 2000's that went away and is going to be coming back very soon. Joss Whedon is rebooting Buffy with a new cast and Firefly won't be far behind in a few years if it's successful enough. Teen Titans might be coming back in original form if the teaser after the Teen Titans GO! movie is to be believed, pluse there's a live action version going on DC streaming soon. 2021 will be jammed full of 20th Anniversary 9/11 morbid nostalgia like Baby Boomers had "where were you when Kennedy was shot?" Like the movie JFK came out in the early 90's when 60's nostalgia was still strong. You can expect 9/11 to get the same treatment in the next decade. Nostalgia will never end as long as there's money to be made selling you false feelings about a mythical past where things were better just because you were young and ignorant of all the world's problems.
I was born in the 90s but most of my nostalgia is for the ‘00s... there was a lot of good stuff that decade.. and for those born in the 90s that’s what we remember more clearly.. at least I do.
The 2000s will be the last craze cause for the first half there wasn't TH-cam MTV still had TRL Reality shows was just becoming popular we didn't have DVRs the 2000s had it's own clothing style and slang HD tv wasn't a thing until 2009
It'll manifest in some of the few stuff that we still all experienced the same, like video games (only three consoles to choose from so you and your friends probably played the same games). Small children's shows (the 00s was still an era where kids entertainment was still streamlines on channels we all got, like Bob The Builder, Little Einsteins and Dora.
I think the 2000s will have a similar nostalgic period as it wasn't really until late into it that era and into the early 2010s that mp3s, streaming, etc became mainstream and fully separated people. So we'll 'member 9/11, TH-cam, flip phones, Katrina, Dubya, MySpace, Obama, all the US wars, Beijing opening ceremony, etc.
There's plenty of nostalgia about national tragedies. Have you seen how many shows, miniseries and movies have been made about the Unabomber, OK City bombing, Waco, etc, now that 90's nostalgia is in full swing? I think the only reason they haven't touched the truck bombing of the Twin Towers in the early 90's is exactly because they're waiting for the right time to do 9/11 "memorial" stuff in 2021 and beyond.
Nope. tragedy has never been the focal point of nostalgia because it's the opposite of the whole concept. Also..."Have you seen how many shows, miniseries and movies have been made about the Unabomber, OK City bombing, Waco, etc" Um.... no, literally nothing.
@@RollOnToVictory You should look a little harder, then. You seriously have never seen hardship nostalgia? Like surrounding Vietnam, or the Civil Rights struggles, or WWII?
Roll, you're thinking of the rose tinted type of nostalgia not the one that remembers the culture and major events of a decade which media also depicts. Ex. Look at shows from the 60s like Bewitched and ones about the 60s like Mad Men. Hell VH1's "I Love The New Millennium" discussed 9/11 and the US coming together so remembering the bad isn't solely negative or new.
I always felt like after the 90s culture begun to fade around 2003, that we never really moved into the next big thing. I remember the 80s to 90s transition being very distinct. The transition really happened in 1993, with the early 90s still being pretty 80s-ish. There are some things about the early 00s that are distinct (like, look up the style of music used in "What's New Scooby Doo"). But, I think the distinct cultures of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s is because of television primarily. I was born in 1982 and in my childhood, TV ruled the world. You waited until 8:00 to catch Hey Arnold or Kablam. You had magazines like Nintendo Power, you had radio, which at the time, played better music, because this was prior to the telecommunications act of 1997, which allowed a bunch of media mergers. But this decade of the '10s looks to be quite similar to the '00s. And it having largely to do with Ipods, the internet, and netflix is probably the cause. You might say the big features of these recent decades are more political, with the '00s being about the post 9/11 world and around 2011 or 2012, America begun to doubt establishment politics and things got really divided. Between the 50s until 2001, politics often didn't matter to us, the world was going mostly good and we focused on our own culture. Now that has shifted, we let things go for too long and we scramble to decide what we want America to be about, but in a decade, we will probably figure it out and become more culture focused. Other trends that weren't mentioned are things like how in the 1930s, people begun to be nostalgic for the wild west days that had ended at the turn of the century and many western films were made. This continued on until we get to the 50s, where people started wearing jeans because the cowboys wore them. In the 60s though, astronauts begun to become more popular than cowboys and the movie Toy Story plays this trope out. I feel like 20s nostalgia probably existed, but it was hard to express.
I agree... After 2003, culture just stayed stuck, and has never really progressed further. Same with fashion. It was after 2003, that fashion, and such began recycling/rebooting things from earlier time periods.
I sure effing hope not. The 80s are nothing like modern times (the Recession of 1990 drew a deep line in the sand) and I wish it would go away already. They had their time, let's have ours.
i'm probably gonna be interested in the 80s forever bc i'm just a huge 80s pop culture nerd, but I don't think the world will become stuck on one particular decade.
true a good portion of the media I grew up with was either from later eras oe inspired by later eras so thats mainly what I'd feel nostalgic for also 90's music is like the only music I listen to.
I sort of agree with what was in this video. Because nothing really goes away anymore, you can't really miss things like you were able to with past decades. There is fondness for stuff like Kids WB, Fox Kids, old Nicktoons, and Cartoon Network because when those things ended, they ended and were gone. Now that things are coming back and you don't really have a chance to miss things (absence makes the heart grow fonder after all), nostalgia can't be something that is built up or sustained. You won't have to dig up old photos for memories of 2010, you can just go on your old Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
You'll still have nostalgia because these things will still be connected with who you were personally when you first discovered them, and no matter what technology, people's lives still change. Just because you have more capabilities of going through something than you did before, doesn't mean you can rewind your life to when it first happened.
People will still feel nostalgic because human emotions can't go away, it's just that these generations aren't as unified as they were before. Nostalgia probably won't be as marketable in the future as it is now.
I get nostalgic looking at Instagram photos from like 3 years ago 🤷🏾♀️ because even though they are easily accessible it isn’t always something you’re going out of your way to look back on. Then when you do you get a rush of memories of times gone by. Nostalgia will always be around no matter the generation !
Idk if nostalgia ends in the 90s cause the 2000s were the golden age of cartoons for kids growing up back then.Stuff like Avatar , Ben 10 , Ed Edd & Eddy , Teen Titans , Kim Possible , Samurai Jack , and Danny Phantom will never be beaten.
Ed edd and eddy was started in the 90's. Other than that you just named shows you watched. I could throw out Rugrats, Hey Arnold, All that, Arthur, Dexter's Lab, Animaniacs, I literally could give you a longer list of better shows and shows that your shows basically took ideas from..doesn't take that much to learn :) Recess, Magic School Bus, and Rocko's modern life could easily take on any basic 00's show.
I started middle school in 2000. I am a nostalgic for the early aughts. I want someone to capture what it felt like to come of age at the turn of the century, post 9/11, and under Bush. Teenagers today who were kids in this time hold it the same as we do the 90's .Nostalgia is far from over. I doubt it will ever die.
i don't think nostalgia will really ever stop. there will always be a generation that alters that of the one prior.. it will only die if everything remains the same.
The key to nostalgia is distance. To me It's as much about the little obscure things that make people go "holy shit I remember that!" as it is the zeitgeist. Yeah, things are better preserved now thanks to social media etc, but there's so much out there that over the 20 years or so it takes for nostalgia to build you're not going to be spending every waking second thinking about things as trivial as one hit wonders, TV commercials, throwaway TH-cam videos, discontinued products etc. I'm 25 so my experience of the 2000s and 2010s is still very fresh and detailed. To someone born in 2001 though, the turn of the decade will feel like a lifetime ago and those memories will seem distant. Its silly for people who are now adults to try and second guess future nostalgia, as it will be the generation still going through their childhood now that (with time) will eventually start identifying their own cultural touchstones.
I have nostalgia for both the 90’s and 2000’s and most likely this current decade as well. I Was born in January of 1990. My early childhood was in the 90’s, my teen years and adolescence was during the 2000s and my college years and 20’s is this current decade. Lots of fun times and great experiences throughout my years. I’ll look back fondly on my younger years once I hit my 30’s. Each decade holds a special place in my heart. Nostalgia will never go away.
Bruh, you hit the nail on the head with the "accidental historians/TH-cam" line. Although I own X-Men, BatmanTAS, & so many other shows from the 80's & 90's on dvd, there's still something magical about the entire experience of watching TV around that time & nothing completes it more than all the little inbetween things--be it toy or cereal commercials, promos for other shows, sweepstakes ads, etc. I even find myself singing along to jingles I had long forgotten about! When I see a 10 or 20-minute video marked August 28, 1993 (i.e. "the day the Power Rangers landed") it's like a mental snapshot being dusted off & I'm immediately thrusted back into the anticipation & excitement I felt when I was an 11yr. old kid. It also confirms the things you thought you remembered are actually the way you remembered them. You can't just buy that experience on Amazon, ya know? Those mini time capsules are to my generation what Woodstock or Motown was to the previous generation. Nostalgia's a helluva drug! Great video essay! 👍🏾 Oh, and I noticed the emerging "nostalgia" trend for this generation seems to be reactionary videos of a person's antics on TH-cam, Vines, (etc.)--even if it's just from a few years ago. If they "blew up" from the vid, it holds enough sentimental value to revist & film a reaction to it. 🤷🏿♂️ So, nostalgia will exist in one form or another as long as humans still retain memory of a shared experience. I think the way we revisit the things of the past is changing due to the Internet & the monoculture splitting into subcultures (great point btw!), but nostalgia itself will never totally go away.
Nostalgia is not really about the shows or songs themselves it's about the moments you had with people around you that these songs and shows remind you of. Life was lived in the flesh, kids today will have things to look back on but nothing to the scale that we do. The average teen today spend most of their day texting, posting, or reading about things they will forget about in a few hours not to mention 20 years.
Saying nostalgia will end is like saying kids who grows up now will not want to look at their childhood. I myself was born in 2001, I have nostalgia when listening to certain music or watch cartoons I grew up watching. I feel this video is disconnected with the generations of the 2000s and more or less ignorant.
@Darth Cheeks84 exactly. internet babies have convenient access to their childhoods. it's the fact that you have a "too perfect" record of your history that makes the nostalgia not as bittersweet as people who mostly only had their memories of the experience. these days, people vlog their daily lives and record their reactions to everything. people now have access even to the experience itself. nostalgia is mostly remembering what you can't retrieve.
Maggy Frog too perfect? I was born in 2000, I didn’t have actual internet or a good enough computer until i turned 12 in fact most people barely started upgrading thier computer hardware around 2009, I still remember my family using film disposable cameras until I’d say atleast 2008 and I had a nintendo 64 before I got my ps2 around 2006, don’t get 2000s mixed up with 2010s, realize that those are 2 different decades and technology wasn’t really at the stage it is now as it was in 2004, the 2000s is an important decade as it represents the advancement of computers and the transitional period of a post-911 world, so to say record collecting is “too perfect” in that era is an overstatement because no one has the same computer hard drive from 2003, and cloud data/computing didn’t reach an commercial audience until 2006, nostalgia is remembering what you can’t retrieve no more and most things in that era can’t even be observed due to how obsolete everything is, the memories I had during those days made it the greatest time growing up, I’ll never get to watch old cartoon, disney or nickelodeon, I wont be able to go to radioshack to look at rc cars, I won’t ever be able to step foot in a hollywood video to rent a spiderman 2 on ps2, or walk around and not see everyone around me with a smart phone wherever they go, and it’s all bittersweet because I love that era of movies, music, and games
@@LokNex915 actually, many people have started to upgrade their computers around early 00s. the fact that some people still lived like it was partly late 90s in the 00s like you described your childhood is my point that post 2000, children's experiences significantly started to differ from one another, unlike in the previous eras where regardless of socio-economic status, most kids had similar childhood touchstones. growing up in the 90s, i noticed right away in the early 00s that many kids younger than me had very different and i mean a very wide spectrum of interests both from 90s and everything new at the time. so 00s is quite a polarizing time imho. as for the 2010s, it's like everything just flies by so quickly that people are addicted to instant gratification.
It's definitely ignorant. I was a 90s kid and had internet all my life and could pull up my childhood any time I pleased, and if anything that only intensified the nostalgia lol. There will definitely be 2000s nostalgia, 2010s nostalgia, etc. this is a very self-centered narrow view
I'm 33, and I still think the 2000s will have a lot to offer nostalgia wise. As a teen at the time, we still had massive pop culture consumption with MTV and TRL, boy bands, pop stars like Britney and Christina, cartoons like Spongebob, Futurama, Family Guy, etc. The strong fashion trends like velour track suits, and whatever tacky thing Paris Hilton was wearing. Reality shows really took off then too.
There's already a start on nostalgia for the early 2000s. As someone who was born in the later half of the 90s I can definitely say that I have nostalgia for things from the 00s that 90s kids or the era after don't even know about, and I'm sure that kids who grew up in the 20teens feel the same way. Nostalgia is about your formative years and no matter what the culture is at the time there will be nostalgia. Nostalgia as we know it may change due to the diversity of sub culture, but nostalgia isn't going anywhere. Hell the 2000s are the birth of the superhero craze in film, and the 20teens are the height of the craze. If the era becomes nostalgic for anything that's not a bad place to start.
@@sgillman16 Facts! 2010's is hands down one of the worst decades of all time. Terrible music, the rise of videogames taken over by lootboxes and online only services, politics have never been violent than ever, and half assed reboots of cartoons and shows from better years. At least the 2000's still had the leftovers from the 90's as well as good old fashioned Rock and Roll artists from the 80's.
@@RockNRollSurf 1. Cartoon network renisciance with shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show, and the Amazing World of Gumball 2. The golden age of comic book movies with the rise of the avengers and the MCU as a whole as a major pop culture icon 3. The golden age of television with mass watched/binged shows like Game of Thrones, the Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad 4. The video games were phenomenal with game changing platform exclusives like God of War, Spiderman, and The Last of Us 5. GTA V, Minecraft, Skyrim The list goes on and on...
As an early 90s baby (92) I have nostalgia for both the late 90s (96-99 when I was ages 4-7) and the early 2000s. One thing I've seen both 80s babies and early 90s babies all agree on is while the 90s truly ended the second January 1st 2000 hit spiritually the 90s continued until 2004. (I'm sure there will be someone that'll disagree with that) Nostalgia will continue forever and that's a good thing. Most People, myself included, love to reminisce about their childhood and how much fun it was.
I'm grateful. I lived as a child/pre teen in the 00s, but that era was just plagued by depressive and dark culture from a post 9/11 world ... The early 21st century is just an immediate dark time.
Nostalgia doesn't just consist of music, tv shows and cinema just like you showed us with the OJ thing. I think the 00s will have a different nostalgia culture than the previous decades but I don't think it will be less intense. There are just as many different things and stories that happened in the 00s compared to the 90s as the media will always write new news stories so this is where the focus could be shifted to. People will rather have nostalgia about toys, events like 9/11, death of huge celebrities, introductions of new technologies and their impact or the unavailability of them. And no matter what decade, people will always love the time when they were young because the brain tends to remember only the good parts of the things that happened in their life.
I still feel like nostalgia will continue. Even today, there's trends, viral videos, and memes that are big for some time and then disappear. But I can bet you in a decade or so from then, if you bring them up again, people will remember them and be like "omg. I remember that.". And they will have personal memories attached to those things. Stories to tell. Like when they first saw it, who they were with, what they did during those days, etc.. I'm a 90s kid, but still also find some nostalgia in the 2000s. It is really interesting tho how we can look back on so much now instead of having to rely on memory.
That was an interesting argument. The fracturing of pop culture would make it difficult to make a one-size-fits-all future representation of the era. I imagine there will be many films throwing back to many different groups. But I think you’re right about it being nearly impossible to have a unified representation of a generation like there once was.
I think this took nostalgia in a sense of marketability instead of the actual feeling of nostalgia. People will always be nostalgic for when they were children especially if your childhood was a good one. It was a time when you had no responsibilities and everything was new and exciting. And because of that people will always want to have that feeling, so I feel that Nostalgia will never stop being a marketable thing.
During the 1950's and early 60's, there was a nostalgia boom for the depression and prohibition eras. We don't recognize it as easily, because to the untrained eye, the movies back then just look like a bunch of black & white movies - but the 20's and 30's and particularly the gangster era were popular during the 1950's and early 60's -- so the 30 year trend was alive and well back then too.
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the late 90s. Got lots of nostalgia for CN and Nickelodeon shows during those times. And who could forget the games on Cartoon Network’s website in the early 2000s? Those games were so good.
I was an early 2000’s kid, this is where my nostalgia is. I was too young in the 90’s to remember any of it expect the very tail-end of it,1999. XD I have to disagree, I don’t think nostalgia will ever go away. It will just be in different forms beside cartoons.
This video covered a lot of the thoughts I had going into it. -Culture is much more fleeting than it was before, so many popular things we connect don't stick around long enough to make a lasting impression -The things that do stick around are, consequently, no fading into the past. If they don't go away, they can't be brought back. -Growing up in the digital era allows much of your childhood to be preserved and cataloged efficiently. Revisiting old videos and blogs and such is still a nostalgic experience, but only on the personal level. Like another comment said: Nostalgia will always exist, but its marketability will weaken (probably once the 2010s children are leading the media frontier). but hey most of us can look back together on things like myspace's dominance, youtube's 2006 layout, and some of the most persistent memes. are your nostalgia are belong to us
I don’t think the nostalgia craze will end, it will be different maybe but it would not have stopped. I still have a phone from 2009 and in 2018 it looked liked it was made 20 years ago. It seems so old and it’s only been 9 years. I do get nostalgia from it because it reminds me off being free.
Idk about the 2010s, but I think the 2000s have the potential for nostalgia because as a person who was a kid during that time, I’ve already started to see it. Lady Bird was a perfect encapsulation of the early 2000s, and Spongebob is so memeable because most of the kids who make memes all grew up on Spongebob. Sure the first few seasons were from the 90s, but it was still strongly present in the 2000s. While the internet did exist, it didn’t have much to offer kids at the time. What little content it had for kids has become a shared experience among us, like Webkinz, Club Penguin, and Barbie.com. And when we weren’t on those sites, we were all watching the same Disney Channel and Nick shows
This is really thought provoking. I do believe we'll still have nostalgia about the 00's. Think about all the short-lived technology trends like MySpace pages, or Blackberry phones, or AIM away messages, or even the early days of Facebook profiles. I'm sure we'll also always have music and movies to look back on fondly. The other thing that sticks out to me as being a shared monoculture of our generation is the fact that we distinctly remember a world before smartphone addiction. Remember those days?
Nostalgia is a never ending cycle, just because the internet exists it doesn’t mean it’s gonna be the same internet ten years later. 1970s: 1950s 1980s: 1960s 1990s: 1970s 2000s: 1980s 2010s: 1990s 2020s: 2000s
I totally agree with not having to remember things anymore. When I was little, if I saw a cartoon show or something and I wanted to watch it again it was kind of impossible until the TV channel decided to play it again and that was pretty rare so I went through lots of time missing the TV show. Which causes nostalgia. Kids these days could just re-watch some thing over and over on streaming without having to miss it or anything. I believe it really doesn’t happen anymore because they are always close to it. Content that they watch and they want to watch again it’s always assessable.
Not necessarily. Streaming services can dump shows with no warning (look at the HBO Sesame Street debacle) and effectively create lost media if there's no other way for people to access it, especially if something is long or old enough that it's unlikely for people to have recorded all of it and reuploaded it somewhere. And shows/specials/movies that have issues with music rights/characters now being split up among different rights-holders can never appear on streaming services, like A Muppet Family Christmas.
I thought it ended with the 80’s, but then Saturday morning cartoons disappeared from broadcast tv, social media made my life less social, and computer use shifted from mostly internal tasks to a high reliance on the internet. Sure, how nostalgia is consumed will change, but it will constantly be shifting like this. The 80’s had some wild ideas about futurism and fashion, and then the 90’s seemed to go really plain and uninteresting, and then time passes and now its the 2000s that seem uninteresting or hard to quantify. My god, I can remember when there were no white or blue LEDs in the consumer market.
Preservation, HD Television and online streaming didn't really take off until the late 2000's, so there is still half a decade's worth of nostalgia left.
I don't think nostalgia will go away anytime soon. I think when it comes to things like tv shows, trends and anything that defines a decade, will. Fashion is already mixed with previous fashions from multiple decades. Still have the 00's to go through. The thing with marketing off nostalgia is that it's never done right, or it shouldn't be done at all. It should be left in the past. That's why it only lasts a few years. Most people ask for a continuation, NOT a reboot when it comes to shows. Which is why everybody wants a reunion rather than a reboot. which is a huge issue in itself.
I mostly disagree. Me and my girlfriend discussed the idea that people will always be nostalgic about the decades they grew up in. In the 2010's, people are nostalgic for the 90s, in the 2020's, people (like me) will remember the 2000s, and so forth. You get the idea. I don't think it will be any more marketable, but simply put, in the 2020's, I will be making movies on TH-cam Red about us 2000's kids growing up during the 9/11, and early internet era.
i think a lot of people these days are more into the late 90s-early 2000s Y2K type era stuff these days and not so much the early to mid 90s (which i prefer aesthetically tbh)
90s culture kind of extended into 2003 when stuff like Rocket Power and Rugrats still being in the Nickelodeon lineups. Meanwhile, 80s culture extended into like mid 1993. After that period, baggy jeans moved in, stuff like Power Rangers and Beavis and Butthead came on to the scene. Hip Hop became more widespread. I mostly remember the 90s being utterly dominated by rap music.
Just coming back to this video in the year 2021 and I can say for certain that nostalgia did not die in the 90s! I'm seeing so many early 2000s fashion trends come back, as well as a few tv show revivals such as iCarly. Lots of social media posts saying "remember THIS" pop up ever few days too lol. I remember watching this video and thought it made such good points but ultimately I guess it was an off prediction lol.
The problem with looking back on the last decade is nostalgic works in that twilight where things are wholly gone but only partly forgotten. Right now a lot of things from last decade aren't completely gone and the memory of them is still relatively fresh. Remember DVDs, Netflix by mail, cable tv, Myspace, MP3 Players, Disney not owning everything... ah, the peaceful time before the singularity and getting dominated by our robot overlords.
I think early 2000s will be... there’s already a lot of y2k pages and a lot of people already have nostalgia for the fashion & cartoons. Such as early Spongebob, Avatar, Fairly Odd Parents, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Rugrats, Dexter’s Lab, CatDog, Blues Clues, The Wild Thorn Berrys, Ed Edd & Eddy, and As Told By Ginger. (Some of these shows started in 98, 99 and one in 95. But most seasons were during the 2000s.)
those shows were still mostly 90s the best years on dexter was from 96-99 same with rugrats i remember rugrats came out in 92 and its best seasons were the first 4 or 5. ed edd and eddy was more 2000s but it came out in the 90s. fairly odd parents was 2000s yeah. courage was 98. still 90s. powerpuff girls best seasons were the 90s same with johnny bravo which came out in 96 i remember when these shows came out. hey arnold was 96 and its best seasons were from 96-99. wild thornberrys was 98 and mostly early 2000s.
We're always going to have nostalgia even if it isn't a shared one, so I think there's always going to be content out there that caters to people who are nostalgic for one thing or another.
in the 2020s to 2030s, millenials will still be remembering the 90s. it's not like we're suddenly collectively going to disappear. being a 90s kid means i still grew up in the 2000s and i still exist now in the 2010s. i personally feel there's too much disparate experiences now to ever hold a unified zeitgeist era for the 2000s onwards. the internet made too many things too accessible and had given rise to instant gratification.
Ugandan Knuckles uhm, i kind of don't care if the younger generation feel nostalgic or not. my point is that the internet changed history forever, and that includes pop culture and the way people experience things. 90s is pretty old tech and that had a direct effect on how people lived. nostalgia has a great deal to do with the past being antiquated. gadgets otoh are here to stay for the coming decades i think. many things from the 90s are literally obsolete now. many things from 2000s are still commonplace today and won't likely become obsolete but would just be gradually upgraded.
Ugandan Knuckles that's the trouble with internet virality. once it's run its course, it's not viral anymore. like dead memes being dead memes. edit: also, youtube meddles with the top trending results.
Ugandan Knuckles sorry that this is hurting your feelings. it's almost 2019 already. 2020 isn't that far ahead. repeat virality just isn't really a thing. youtube alone is home to countless subcultures. the internet is home to all sorts of things you can and can't think of, and many of these things are so accessible, and it's NOT a big deal at all that things are accessible. what's nostalgic for you isn't likely going to be nostalgic for many other kids growing up in 00s and 10s. sorry kid, cultural nostalgia probably won't be as massive for your generation as it was in the older generations.
There are large channels on TH-cam dedicated to preserving VHS footage of particular networks on particular days or seasons. These, I find, are remarkable; they preserve, pretty well, the state of media and entertainment at a very specific point in time. I do worry that our obsession with days gone by is stifling us, somehow, that we're moving retrograde toward an imaginary gilded past at the cost of both present and future. An obsession with used-to-be is unhealthy, specifically because trying to rekindle and snare those happier days leads us to neglect our present. Nostalgia is potent poison.
In my opinion there are subgenres of nostalgia some people really like 20s style stuff I mean look and steam punk, bioshock, and fallout games. people have looked back on eras and love the music and or styles because of the internet. Good video and I dont know what the future holds but I hope it's great
As a real 2000s baby, I can definitely say in 2 years 2000s nostalgia will come at full force!!! It's already happening! But in my opinion, I'm perfectly fine if nostalgia clams down or is taken less seriously. People need to stop living in the past. With that said, nostalgia will never die.
i still think we'll have nostalgia, it just may change. Hell I see young people nostalgic over the summer of 2016 all the time and I'm starting to feel nostalgia for my high school years (2007-2011). It may not be as strong as the 90's-00's but it'll definitely continue
i kind of agree with the points made in the video. cultural nostalgia is based on shared similar experiences and memories. internet-raised kids experience things very distinctly from others, and not to mention their culture of short attention span. kids today probably don't appreciate having to anticipate most of the media they consume, unlike before when kids looked forward to sitting up at the tv to watch a pre-programmed setlist of shows with all the commercials. the way things are experienced now is very different to encapsulate in a neat generation-defining statement. i totally agree with what he said about monoculture and zeitgeist.
@@maggyfrog The school I work at has Among Us references everywhere from both the students and teachers. If that's not monoculture then that's goalpost moving.
@@jacobsocknesssucks5277 you're talking about NOW. that's not what nostalgia is. you missed the point. also, you're in a bubble. can you imagine how many kids these days don't care about that game or don't even play it? because there are way too many popular games now that it's almost impossible to have a real monoculture in the internet age. people who play cyberpunk 2077 don't necessarily care about the sims franchise, and people who are addicted to dark souls don't necessarily care about among us. i hate to say this mantra, but it's actually true that back in the 90s, if something really got popular worldwide, it's almost inescapably popular, and it didn't have to go internet viral so that kind of popularity didn't die after 15 seconds. pop songs then were popular everywhere. these days, you have niches. not everybody has heard of grimes even though she's big in her own niche. not everybody has heard of the hu band even though they are quite big in their own fanbase. back in the 90s, even if you're not a fan of a certain genre, you still know who's popular in that genre. today, there are way too many niches that it's more likely that you've never heard of something popular because you're invested in many other things. monoculture isn't a thing anymore, unless you count social media. and that sucks.
Nostalgia is like the sun. It stays up then it goes down. The nostalgia era will end with the 90s and 2000s and people will start to get creative again. Then the nostalgia craze will pick itself up again with in more than half a century and someone will make a video like this again.
I have been wondering this too. Seems to me that the individual emotion of nostalgia will never go away, i mean soldiers in ancient times came from all different cultures... But collective nostalgia will become much weaker. There won't be a single narrative of history anymore, it'll become fractured and more divided. In order to relate to nostalgia you'll have to hunt down people from your subculture, or stick with the same communities all your life. Seems like even though the internet connected us, it's made it easier for us to divide
for five minutes, maybe. i feel like kids who grew up in the 2000s onwards generally have short attention span and that constitutes to less nostalgia. instant gratification literally changes the brain and makes people's appreciation of things less meaningful. how can you reminisce dank memes when part of meme culture is moving on from dead memes?
ooh that's a good one. but still, maybe it's one of the few persistent icons of 2010s? music-wise, it's not looking too bright in my humble opinion. i mean, mainstream music has lady gaga, miley cyrus, one direction, that sort of music... it's a bit depressing to think that future adults will look back to their childhoods and remember these "icons" of their day
There's plenty more, for example the original iPhone is going to be this generation's Nokia/Aol IM. These things still feel mondain to us because we're so close, but as time elapses these will become what this generation feels nostalgic about.
i don't entirely agree with gadgets as far as 00s and 10s. 90s and older tech were VERY low tech that most are now obsolete. 1st gen iphone is still an iphone and in concept it is still the same as smartphones today. the rapid innovations are inherently a part of why post 2000 era is WAY too different from 90s and back. and it can't be overstated how much the internet has changed history drastically. brick phones from the 90s are completely obsolete a decade later, whereas cellphones are actually still available today. i wouldn't call old iphones the "nokia phones" of 2000s since actual nokia phones were still common a decade ago. also, the first gen iphone was released in 2007 and while it's been continuously upgraded almost every year, the gadget pretty much remains the same product. i'm not sure kids from 2000s have experienced a deluge of cultural and technological obsolescence as of yet, or in the near future.
nostalgia cannot die because even if other people aren't you personally will alway's be nostalgic for maybe not the era but, defiantly something from your childhood or teenage years or whatever like your moms cooking or old stores that you know are died and not coming back like blockbuster, and the internet itself keeps nostalgia alive.
I can totally see a period of nostalgia for the current decade (2010s). It will probably be a bittersweet, ironic satirical representation of a time when everyone was obsessively polarized, insulated, offended, paranoid, overly identified, exposed and hopelessly interconnected.
The other thing is that nostalgia seems to be based on the idea of culture going away, then being rediscovered, but with the Internet, it never has to go away. And the distance between is shorter. We’re rebooting shows that we’re just cancelled. I just rediscovered The Littles and Kidd Video. They’re special, because I forgot about them. It’s like running into an old friend at the grocery store after a couple of decades.
If my 11 year old niece and her classmates are anything to go by the monoculture is very much still a thing for most young developing minds. Only now it's not some rad cartoons, it comes in the form of un-named controversial youtube vlog brothers...
I'd argue that there was a kind of 20s nostalgia going on in the 40s and 50s. You had movies like "Singin' in the Rain", "The Al Jolson Story" and "Some Like it Hot" that were all set in the 20s, plus a silent movie-revivalism where Buster Keaton (prominently featured in clips in the video) came back out from obscurity. Also, strange as it might seem to speak of a 40s nostalgia considering the war then, the 60s saw quite a few movies that used WW2 as a backdrop for action-packed popcorn flicks, like "The Great Escape" and "Where Eagles Dare". Fun video!
I want to see new ideas and experiments with music, movies, and all the other types of media instead of just regurgitation of other people's ideas. This whole reselling my childhood back to me is nauseating.
No I completely disagree with this video. Nostalgia didn’t end in the 90s. We already have nostalgia for 00s and 10s after that. The original iPod, flip phones, Paris and Nicole in The Simple Life, the iPhone 3G, low rise jeans, Limewire, Bebo… all this stuff an more was only 15-20 years ago, either way it was after the 90s and it seems so nostalgic to think about now. Facebook barely existed back then. Internet on your phone was almost impossible, it was pay as you go WAP. Instagram didn’t exist. We will feel this way about today in the future too and it will keep happening again and again. You are so wrong.
I heard that people who are given less choices are actually happier than folks given endless amounts of choices because we can become crippled by them. I think this has a lot to do with why people were happier in earlier times such as the 90’s, we got what we got and didn’t throw a fit. Now you always have endless bouts of FOMO
After 2001 you just can’t do nostalgia the same and I’m sad since I was born in 2000 but the 80s nostalgia was rad, I formed a whole band just because of it
@@bryans138 I would have to disagree. I was born in 1999 but I can't call myself a 90s kid because I didn't grow up in the 90s. I grew up in the 2000s and the 2010s
@@nikibronson133 Spongebob is definitely quintessential 2000s. The show peaked and became a phenomenon around 2001-2006. A lot of these 90s nostalgist idiots want to claim it just because it was around for a few months in 1999 even though they likely didn’t grow up with it. Spongebob was huge. Bigger than anything in the 90s like Rockos, Doug or any other forgotten show.
@@hypsomuskrat3882 yeah I would have to agree because I was born in 99 and I literally grew up watching SpongeBob until I was legitimately in high school and I even kind of watched some episodes now just for Nostalgia so yeah I would have to say that that's a 2000 or early 2010 cartoon and even honestly a cartoon of today because it's still one of the most popular cartoons on Nickelodeon
There's no such thing as an end to nostalgia as long as time goes on
I have a lot of nostalgia for the 2000s as a 00s kid, and I'm only 22. I think nostalgia isn't gonna die anytime soon
Abigail Solomon foreal. 96 baby here basically raised with all the good stuff CN, nickelodeon and Disney had to offer
+Angel 95 baby! 😎
@Erik Schmunzeler but it isn't, I have great difficulty finding shows I grew up with on DVD or legal streaming sites.
Abigail Solomon Even if the Internet has preserved things from the 2000’s, there will ALWAYS be things that are unearthed that will send people on nostalgic trips. Life moves faster than ever these days. People tend to forget things sooner because there’s always something new. People will still want to see what ever happened to their favorite stars from the 2000s era.
I’ve seen mid 20 somethings get all nostalgic over something called Zabobabfoo (I’m sure I spelled that wrong! Lol). I’m 35, so it’s not from my era. BUT, I’ve seen people pull up Zabowhatever on their phones, show me what their talking about, and get super nostalgic about it. NEVER underestimate the power of nostalgia.
I feel like there’s only one thing that’ll change, in terms of nostalgia. Back in the day, their were highly advertised tv specials that brought the cast of classic tv shows back together on stage. Or retrospective specials on network tv (and major cable channels) hosted by the stars themselves. These days, it’s about logging on to TH-cam (or your social media platform of choice), scrolling through the home page, seeing something and going, “WTF! When did they get back together!” “I didn’t know he was still working!” “OMG! I used to love (fill in the blank). I thought he was dead!” *puts on Watch Later list* I feel like something along those lines will become the way nostalgia works as time goes on.
Nostalgia will never go out of style for one important reason. People tend to look at the present and see a lot of wrong in it, while longing for the “good old days” that never really existed. But those memories of sitting in front of a tv, with a big bowl of cereal, while watching Rocket Power or Arthur are incredibly powerful. You may think this sounds crazy because of the times we’re living, but people will get nostalgic about these times, ten to fifteen years from now.
Just like people are getting nostalgic about the 2000’s. Calling them simpler times. 9/11. Anthrax. The rise in Muslim hate. Bush and his color coded threat alerts. Women being afraid of dating DL men. It goes on and on. When the nostalgia hits...it’s the cartoons. TV shows. The pop music scene at the time. The fashion. I could go on about the 90’s and 80’s too. Nostalgia will never die.
Caligula6 Shoshon Fosters home for imaginary kids, The grim adventures of billy and Mandy, Ed Edd and Eddy, Courage the cowardly dog etc.
Nostalgia won't go away it will merely become less marketable.
Very good point
Yep I agree 100% mostly cause things will always on record for the later years. I mean there will be others who will record things they loved while others won't do as much and they'll want to trade with others.
No, certain eras will become less marketable, but there will always be types of thingd from different eras people will look back on with nostalgia. Those generations will change over time and in 2020s what will be nostalgic will be the 90s and 2000s
Nemo Dollaz That, I believe. There’s always gonna be generations who’ll want to relive their childhood memories from happier times, as they get older. Nostalgia won’t end with the 90s. In later decades, we’ll get people looking to the 2000s and 2010s by the time we get to the 2030s at least. Taste in nostalgia marketability doesn’t stagnate.
90s and 80s kids really bought into advertising, I don't think 2000s and 2010s did so much, so the end result is that they keep marketing to us.
1:46 "How come there's never been a 1920's revival?"
There was one. In the 1950's and '60's. Movies like Some Like It Hot and The Great Race, the Marx Brothers coming back into style, and Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington had late-career success.
Thank you!! I just commented this too haha this video is so narrow and has no comprehension of pop culture history!
he's talking about now fartwad
this is 100% valid. not mention that it's kinda coming back now my prom last year was 1920s themed and like my favorite show rn is Babylon Berlin.
Chuckie Gravestone, no he was not. He said nostalgia comes in generational waves. The 1970's were nostalgic for the 50's and he mentioned this in the video.
Great Gatsby
People will always be nostalgic about the decades they grew up in -
In the 2000s it was for the 1970s and 1980s
In the 2010s it is for the 1980s and 1990s
In the 2020s it will be for the 1990s and 2000s
so on so forth
My cousins - girls, 8 and 10 - absolutely love Rey from the new Star Wars movies
My other cousins - boys, 10 and 12 - were enthralled by Black Panther
So think that this monoculture that you speak of still exists
We'll still never get a competent Dragon Ball movie, which is what I want to see
One's coming out in december
In the 70s there was nostalgia for the 50s...in the 80s there was nostalgia for the 60s...in the 90s there was nostalgia for the 70s...it will continue.
My puzzlement to how nostalgia for the early 2000's is 'going to look like', b/c I do hope that there would not be moves as irresponsible as over-shadowing 9-11 and the impact/ripple effects it had which are still very much ongoing ..monocultures being shaken and identity politics arising being one example.
..I wonder if ‘content which raised’ persons born in the early 2000’s who will enter the entertainment industry in their 20’s and 30’s will include references to 9-11 in the same way :I ?..

"..the power of nostalgia is in our own imperfect memories we can't remember every single detail of our past but nostalgia isn't about the details it's about the experience it's about how those times fell not how they actually happen"
I like that part about the 90’s being ‘well preserved’ mentioned.
What was brought up in this video is why I am skeptical as to how the later parts of ‘Phase 4’ is going to fare for Marvel and if a ‘Phase 5’ would really be worthwhile.
Preservation of the past isn’t as much of an issue once we get into the beginning of this century and the internet being a more relevant factor…
"..what would a 2010 throwback even look like?, there's no such thing as the zeitgeist anymore”
;) ^_^
Maybe I'm dumb but I feel like he contradicted himself. Iirc he mentions vhs recordings and the 90s being well preserved and whatnot, but then discounts any nostalgia in the internet age because it is so preserved by the internet, and you are just a click away from seeing it exactly. You can say the same thing with the 90s with the VHS recordings by that logic right.
I feel nostalgia for the 90s but I was born in 2003
I don’t think the 90’s are the end. The 2000’s are a gold mine of pop culture references and poor fashion sense just like every other decade but I don’t think we’ll see a 00’s craze but after 2025
Even this decade has madness imbedded we just need time to see it from far away and miss it

@@erikeriks There is nothing on your list that has the slightest potential of becoming nostalgic enough at any point in time to create a significantly impactful revival.
Nah, 2000s nostalgia is already booming a bit! 🙌🏼 I’m not complaining. The early 2000s specifically were very distinct and when I grew up lol.
Only early 2000s is good, and that is because it still had some 90s residue which fueled the hype.
@@kbs1212 songs songs...
Nostalgia as we've understood it thus far no longer exists. Things don't go away anymore thanks to the pervasiveness of the internet.
that being said the actuality of nostalgia itself will indeed continue on. the same way recording music with a stylus and diaphragm was said to herold the end of live music back in the 1800s this accurate digital recollection will not kill anything it will just reframe how it's digested and internalized by those who wish to return to a time of perceived simplicity and comfort
Tell that to Teen Titans, Firefly, Emo hair and clothing, etc. There's plenty of stuff from the 2000's that went away and is going to be coming back very soon. Joss Whedon is rebooting Buffy with a new cast and Firefly won't be far behind in a few years if it's successful enough. Teen Titans might be coming back in original form if the teaser after the Teen Titans GO! movie is to be believed, pluse there's a live action version going on DC streaming soon. 2021 will be jammed full of 20th Anniversary 9/11 morbid nostalgia like Baby Boomers had "where were you when Kennedy was shot?" Like the movie JFK came out in the early 90's when 60's nostalgia was still strong. You can expect 9/11 to get the same treatment in the next decade.
Nostalgia will never end as long as there's money to be made selling you false feelings about a mythical past where things were better just because you were young and ignorant of all the world's problems.
People still forget about things for a while even if they can easily find it on the internet.
jinpei05 You’re just repeating what the video said. -_-
That makes nostalgia even stronger
I was born in the 90s but most of my nostalgia is for the ‘00s... there was a lot of good stuff that decade.. and for those born in the 90s that’s what we remember more clearly.. at least I do.
The 2000s will be the last craze cause for the first half there wasn't TH-cam MTV still had TRL Reality shows was just becoming popular we didn't have DVRs the 2000s had it's own clothing style and slang HD tv wasn't a thing until 2009
It's not even the first half, TH-cam at first was just full of TV clips. TH-cam as we know it didn't start until 2011 or 2012.

What about YTP, which debuted in 2004? Or all the leftovers from YTMND, AlbinoBlacksheep, and Newgrounds?
Yup
sanguis m IF YOU LOVE THIS VIDEO FOLLOW TIMECAPSULE_ ON IG THAT PAGE IS FIRE😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
It'll manifest in some of the few stuff that we still all experienced the same, like video games (only three consoles to choose from so you and your friends probably played the same games). Small children's shows (the 00s was still an era where kids entertainment was still streamlines on channels we all got, like Bob The Builder, Little Einsteins and Dora.
I think the 2000s will have a similar nostalgic period as it wasn't really until late into it that era and into the early 2010s that mp3s, streaming, etc became mainstream and fully separated people.
So we'll 'member 9/11, TH-cam, flip phones, Katrina, Dubya, MySpace, Obama, all the US wars, Beijing opening ceremony, etc.
there's nothing nostalgic about 9/11
There's plenty of nostalgia about national tragedies. Have you seen how many shows, miniseries and movies have been made about the Unabomber, OK City bombing, Waco, etc, now that 90's nostalgia is in full swing? I think the only reason they haven't touched the truck bombing of the Twin Towers in the early 90's is exactly because they're waiting for the right time to do 9/11 "memorial" stuff in 2021 and beyond.
Nope. tragedy has never been the focal point of nostalgia because it's the opposite of the whole concept.
Also..."Have you seen how many shows, miniseries and movies have been made about the Unabomber, OK City bombing, Waco, etc" Um.... no, literally nothing.
@@RollOnToVictory You should look a little harder, then. You seriously have never seen hardship nostalgia? Like surrounding Vietnam, or the Civil Rights struggles, or WWII?
Roll, you're thinking of the rose tinted type of nostalgia not the one that remembers the culture and major events of a decade which media also depicts. Ex. Look at shows from the 60s like Bewitched and ones about the 60s like Mad Men.
Hell VH1's "I Love The New Millennium" discussed 9/11 and the US coming together so remembering the bad isn't solely negative or new.
Written by someone that was a kid during the 90s.
I always felt like after the 90s culture begun to fade around 2003, that we never really moved into the next big thing. I remember the 80s to 90s transition being very distinct. The transition really happened in 1993, with the early 90s still being pretty 80s-ish. There are some things about the early 00s that are distinct (like, look up the style of music used in "What's New Scooby Doo"). But, I think the distinct cultures of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s is because of television primarily. I was born in 1982 and in my childhood, TV ruled the world. You waited until 8:00 to catch Hey Arnold or Kablam. You had magazines like Nintendo Power, you had radio, which at the time, played better music, because this was prior to the telecommunications act of 1997, which allowed a bunch of media mergers. But this decade of the '10s looks to be quite similar to the '00s. And it having largely to do with Ipods, the internet, and netflix is probably the cause. You might say the big features of these recent decades are more political, with the '00s being about the post 9/11 world and around 2011 or 2012, America begun to doubt establishment politics and things got really divided. Between the 50s until 2001, politics often didn't matter to us, the world was going mostly good and we focused on our own culture. Now that has shifted, we let things go for too long and we scramble to decide what we want America to be about, but in a decade, we will probably figure it out and become more culture focused. Other trends that weren't mentioned are things like how in the 1930s, people begun to be nostalgic for the wild west days that had ended at the turn of the century and many western films were made. This continued on until we get to the 50s, where people started wearing jeans because the cowboys wore them. In the 60s though, astronauts begun to become more popular than cowboys and the movie Toy Story plays this trope out. I feel like 20s nostalgia probably existed, but it was hard to express.
I agree... After 2003, culture just stayed stuck, and has never really progressed further. Same with fashion. It was after 2003, that fashion, and such began recycling/rebooting things from earlier time periods.
Most "decades" really strattled 2 decades. I was born in '87. If you look at any old pics until i was about 6 it looks stereotypical "80s".
90s never really faded away until about 2013
I think we will reach a point where people will become nostalgic for other people’s nostalgia, and we’ll stay interested in the 80’s forever
I sure effing hope not. The 80s are nothing like modern times (the Recession of 1990 drew a deep line in the sand) and I wish it would go away already. They had their time, let's have ours.
v a p o r w a v e?
i'm probably gonna be interested in the 80s forever bc i'm just a huge 80s pop culture nerd, but I don't think the world will become stuck on one particular decade.
I think we're already there because I'm fascinated by the 80s but I was born in 1988 and I also like stuff from the 70s as well.
true a good portion of the media I grew up with was either from later eras oe inspired by later eras so thats mainly what I'd feel nostalgic for also 90's music is like the only music I listen to.
I sort of agree with what was in this video. Because nothing really goes away anymore, you can't really miss things like you were able to with past decades. There is fondness for stuff like Kids WB, Fox Kids, old Nicktoons, and Cartoon Network because when those things ended, they ended and were gone. Now that things are coming back and you don't really have a chance to miss things (absence makes the heart grow fonder after all), nostalgia can't be something that is built up or sustained.
You won't have to dig up old photos for memories of 2010, you can just go on your old Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
Such a wise man. Preach
You'll still have nostalgia because these things will still be connected with who you were personally when you first discovered them, and no matter what technology, people's lives still change. Just because you have more capabilities of going through something than you did before, doesn't mean you can rewind your life to when it first happened.
People will still feel nostalgic because human emotions can't go away, it's just that these generations aren't as unified as they were before. Nostalgia probably won't be as marketable in the future as it is now.
I get nostalgic looking at Instagram photos from like 3 years ago 🤷🏾♀️ because even though they are easily accessible it isn’t always something you’re going out of your way to look back on. Then when you do you get a rush of memories of times gone by. Nostalgia will always be around no matter the generation !
TRUE. Nostalgia hits the hardest when you encounter something you haven't heard in forever, so it immediately transports you back in time.
Idk if nostalgia ends in the 90s cause the 2000s were the golden age of cartoons for kids growing up back then.Stuff like Avatar , Ben 10 , Ed Edd & Eddy , Teen Titans , Kim Possible , Samurai Jack , and Danny Phantom will never be beaten.
Ed edd and eddy was started in the 90's. Other than that you just named shows you watched. I could throw out Rugrats, Hey Arnold, All that, Arthur, Dexter's Lab, Animaniacs, I literally could give you a longer list of better shows and shows that your shows basically took ideas from..doesn't take that much to learn :)
Recess, Magic School Bus, and Rocko's modern life could easily take on any basic 00's show.
Alexander Stone facts I was born in the early 2000s and a lot of those shows are nostalgic as frick
Sorry kid but the 80s still has the greatest crop of cartoons ever.

Boyhood actually pretty much nailed the 2000’s nostalgia
The fact that movie was filmed real time over 10+ years was dope
I started middle school in 2000. I am a nostalgic for the early aughts. I want someone to capture what it felt like to come of age at the turn of the century, post 9/11, and under Bush. Teenagers today who were kids in this time hold it the same as we do the 90's .Nostalgia is far from over. I doubt it will ever die.
I’m 18 and I was a little kid in the 2000s and I already have nostalgia for the 2000s
Same mate, same
i have nostalgia for 2010s well early 2010s
i don't think nostalgia will really ever stop. there will always be a generation that alters that of the one prior.. it will only die if everything remains the same.
The key to nostalgia is distance. To me It's as much about the little obscure things that make people go "holy shit I remember that!" as it is the zeitgeist. Yeah, things are better preserved now thanks to social media etc, but there's so much out there that over the 20 years or so it takes for nostalgia to build you're not going to be spending every waking second thinking about things as trivial as one hit wonders, TV commercials, throwaway TH-cam videos, discontinued products etc.
I'm 25 so my experience of the 2000s and 2010s is still very fresh and detailed. To someone born in 2001 though, the turn of the decade will feel like a lifetime ago and those memories will seem distant. Its silly for people who are now adults to try and second guess future nostalgia, as it will be the generation still going through their childhood now that (with time) will eventually start identifying their own cultural touchstones.
I have nostalgia for both the 90’s and 2000’s and most likely this current decade as well. I Was born in January of 1990. My early childhood was in the 90’s, my teen years and adolescence was during the 2000s and my college years and 20’s is this current decade. Lots of fun times and great experiences throughout my years. I’ll look back fondly on my younger years once I hit my 30’s. Each decade holds a special place in my heart. Nostalgia will never go away.
Bruh, you hit the nail on the head with the "accidental historians/TH-cam" line. Although I own X-Men, BatmanTAS, & so many other shows from the 80's & 90's on dvd, there's still something magical about the entire experience of watching TV around that time & nothing completes it more than all the little inbetween things--be it toy or cereal commercials, promos for other shows, sweepstakes ads, etc. I even find myself singing along to jingles I had long forgotten about!
When I see a 10 or 20-minute video marked August 28, 1993 (i.e. "the day the Power Rangers landed") it's like a mental snapshot being dusted off & I'm immediately thrusted back into the anticipation & excitement I felt when I was an 11yr. old kid. It also confirms the things you thought you remembered are actually the way you remembered them. You can't just buy that experience on Amazon, ya know? Those mini time capsules are to my generation what Woodstock or Motown was to the previous generation. Nostalgia's a helluva drug! Great video essay! 👍🏾
Oh, and I noticed the emerging "nostalgia" trend for this generation seems to be reactionary videos of a person's antics on TH-cam, Vines, (etc.)--even if it's just from a few years ago. If they "blew up" from the vid, it holds enough sentimental value to revist & film a reaction to it. 🤷🏿♂️ So, nostalgia will exist in one form or another as long as humans still retain memory of a shared experience. I think the way we revisit the things of the past is changing due to the Internet & the monoculture splitting into subcultures (great point btw!), but nostalgia itself will never totally go away.
I wonder if kids now will be nostalgic about 10 second pop up ads
Nostalgia is not really about the shows or songs themselves it's about the moments you had with people around you that these songs and shows remind you of. Life was lived in the flesh, kids today will have things to look back on but nothing to the scale that we do. The average teen today spend most of their day texting, posting, or reading about things they will forget about in a few hours not to mention 20 years.
Saying nostalgia will end is like saying kids who grows up now will not want to look at their childhood. I myself was born in 2001, I have nostalgia when listening to certain music or watch cartoons I grew up watching. I feel this video is disconnected with the generations of the 2000s and more or less ignorant.
@Darth Cheeks84
exactly. internet babies have convenient access to their childhoods. it's the fact that you have a "too perfect" record of your history that makes the nostalgia not as bittersweet as people who mostly only had their memories of the experience.
these days, people vlog their daily lives and record their reactions to everything. people now have access even to the experience itself. nostalgia is mostly remembering what you can't retrieve.
Maggy Frog too perfect? I was born in 2000, I didn’t have actual internet or a good enough computer until i turned 12 in fact most people barely started upgrading thier computer hardware around 2009, I still remember my family using film disposable cameras until I’d say atleast 2008 and I had a nintendo 64 before I got my ps2 around 2006, don’t get 2000s mixed up with 2010s, realize that those are 2 different decades and technology wasn’t really at the stage it is now as it was in 2004, the 2000s is an important decade as it represents the advancement of computers and the transitional period of a post-911 world, so to say record collecting is “too perfect” in that era is an overstatement because no one has the same computer hard drive from 2003, and cloud data/computing didn’t reach an commercial audience until 2006, nostalgia is remembering what you can’t retrieve no more and most things in that era can’t even be observed due to how obsolete everything is, the memories I had during those days made it the greatest time growing up, I’ll never get to watch old cartoon, disney or nickelodeon, I wont be able to go to radioshack to look at rc cars, I won’t ever be able to step foot in a hollywood video to rent a spiderman 2 on ps2, or walk around and not see everyone around me with a smart phone wherever they go, and it’s all bittersweet because I love that era of movies, music, and games
@@LokNex915
actually, many people have started to upgrade their computers around early 00s.
the fact that some people still lived like it was partly late 90s in the 00s like you described your childhood is my point that post 2000, children's experiences significantly started to differ from one another, unlike in the previous eras where regardless of socio-economic status, most kids had similar childhood touchstones.
growing up in the 90s, i noticed right away in the early 00s that many kids younger than me had very different and i mean a very wide spectrum of interests both from 90s and everything new at the time.
so 00s is quite a polarizing time imho. as for the 2010s, it's like everything just flies by so quickly that people are addicted to instant gratification.
Still Hold'n That L Nah, this video is just commitbait, and we both fell for it. HA HA, jokes on us!
It's definitely ignorant. I was a 90s kid and had internet all my life and could pull up my childhood any time I pleased, and if anything that only intensified the nostalgia lol. There will definitely be 2000s nostalgia, 2010s nostalgia, etc. this is a very self-centered narrow view
I'm 33, and I still think the 2000s will have a lot to offer nostalgia wise. As a teen at the time, we still had massive pop culture consumption with MTV and TRL, boy bands, pop stars like Britney and Christina, cartoons like Spongebob, Futurama, Family Guy, etc. The strong fashion trends like velour track suits, and whatever tacky thing Paris Hilton was wearing. Reality shows really took off then too.
There's already a start on nostalgia for the early 2000s. As someone who was born in the later half of the 90s I can definitely say that I have nostalgia for things from the 00s that 90s kids or the era after don't even know about, and I'm sure that kids who grew up in the 20teens feel the same way. Nostalgia is about your formative years and no matter what the culture is at the time there will be nostalgia. Nostalgia as we know it may change due to the diversity of sub culture, but nostalgia isn't going anywhere.
Hell the 2000s are the birth of the superhero craze in film, and the 20teens are the height of the craze. If the era becomes nostalgic for anything that's not a bad place to start.
The movie 8th Grade is basically 2010s nostalgia.
There's literally nothing from the 2010s I even remember. Such trash

It's not possible for nostalgia to go away
As an early 90s baby (92) I have nostalgia for both the late 90s (96-99 when I was ages 4-7) and the early 2000s. One thing I've seen both 80s babies and early 90s babies all agree on is while the 90s truly ended the second January 1st 2000 hit spiritually the 90s continued until 2004. (I'm sure there will be someone that'll disagree with that) Nostalgia will continue forever and that's a good thing. Most People, myself included, love to reminisce about their childhood and how much fun it was.
I'm grateful. I lived as a child/pre teen in the 00s, but that era was just plagued by depressive and dark culture from a post 9/11 world ... The early 21st century is just an immediate dark time.
Nostalgia doesn't just consist of music, tv shows and cinema just like you showed us with the OJ thing. I think the 00s will have a different nostalgia culture than the previous decades but I don't think it will be less intense. There are just as many different things and stories that happened in the 00s compared to the 90s as the media will always write new news stories so this is where the focus could be shifted to. People will rather have nostalgia about toys, events like 9/11, death of huge celebrities, introductions of new technologies and their impact or the unavailability of them. And no matter what decade, people will always love the time when they were young because the brain tends to remember only the good parts of the things that happened in their life.
I still feel like nostalgia will continue. Even today, there's trends, viral videos, and memes that are big for some time and then disappear. But I can bet you in a decade or so from then, if you bring them up again, people will remember them and be like "omg. I remember that.". And they will have personal memories attached to those things. Stories to tell. Like when they first saw it, who they were with, what they did during those days, etc..
I'm a 90s kid, but still also find some nostalgia in the 2000s.
It is really interesting tho how we can look back on so much now instead of having to rely on memory.
That was an interesting argument. The fracturing of pop culture would make it difficult to make a one-size-fits-all future representation of the era. I imagine there will be many films throwing back to many different groups. But I think you’re right about it being nearly impossible to have a unified representation of a generation like there once was.
I think this took nostalgia in a sense of marketability instead of the actual feeling of nostalgia. People will always be nostalgic for when they were children especially if your childhood was a good one. It was a time when you had no responsibilities and everything was new and exciting. And because of that people will always want to have that feeling, so I feel that Nostalgia will never stop being a marketable thing.
During the 1950's and early 60's, there was a nostalgia boom for the depression and prohibition eras. We don't recognize it as easily, because to the untrained eye, the movies back then just look like a bunch of black & white movies - but the 20's and 30's and particularly the gangster era were popular during the 1950's and early 60's -- so the 30 year trend was alive and well back then too.
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the late 90s. Got lots of nostalgia for CN and Nickelodeon shows during those times. And who could forget the games on Cartoon Network’s website in the early 2000s? Those games were so good.
I was an early 2000’s kid, this is where my nostalgia is. I was too young in the 90’s to remember any of it expect the very tail-end of it,1999. XD I have to disagree, I don’t think nostalgia will ever go away. It will just be in different forms beside cartoons.
This video covered a lot of the thoughts I had going into it.
-Culture is much more fleeting than it was before, so many popular things we connect don't stick around long enough to make a lasting impression
-The things that do stick around are, consequently, no fading into the past. If they don't go away, they can't be brought back.
-Growing up in the digital era allows much of your childhood to be preserved and cataloged efficiently. Revisiting old videos and blogs and such is still a nostalgic experience, but only on the personal level.
Like another comment said: Nostalgia will always exist, but its marketability will weaken (probably once the 2010s children are leading the media frontier).
but hey most of us can look back together on things like myspace's dominance, youtube's 2006 layout, and some of the most persistent memes. are your nostalgia are belong to us

Idk about the 2010s, but I think the 2000s have the potential for nostalgia because as a person who was a kid during that time, I’ve already started to see it. Lady Bird was a perfect encapsulation of the early 2000s, and Spongebob is so memeable because most of the kids who make memes all grew up on Spongebob. Sure the first few seasons were from the 90s, but it was still strongly present in the 2000s. While the internet did exist, it didn’t have much to offer kids at the time. What little content it had for kids has become a shared experience among us, like Webkinz, Club Penguin, and Barbie.com. And when we weren’t on those sites, we were all watching the same Disney Channel and Nick shows
This is really thought provoking. I do believe we'll still have nostalgia about the 00's. Think about all the short-lived technology trends like MySpace pages, or Blackberry phones, or AIM away messages, or even the early days of Facebook profiles. I'm sure we'll also always have music and movies to look back on fondly. The other thing that sticks out to me as being a shared monoculture of our generation is the fact that we distinctly remember a world before smartphone addiction. Remember those days?
Nostalgia is a never ending cycle, just because the internet exists it doesn’t mean it’s gonna be the same internet ten years later.

in the 1950s there was definitely nostalgia for the 1920s. Numerous movies were made that fit this.
I totally agree with not having to remember things anymore. When I was little, if I saw a cartoon show or something and I wanted to watch it again it was kind of impossible until the TV channel decided to play it again and that was pretty rare so I went through lots of time missing the TV show. Which causes nostalgia. Kids these days could just re-watch some thing over and over on streaming without having to miss it or anything. I believe it really doesn’t happen anymore because they are always close to it. Content that they watch and they want to watch again it’s always assessable.
Not necessarily. Streaming services can dump shows with no warning (look at the HBO Sesame Street debacle) and effectively create lost media if there's no other way for people to access it, especially if something is long or old enough that it's unlikely for people to have recorded all of it and reuploaded it somewhere. And shows/specials/movies that have issues with music rights/characters now being split up among different rights-holders can never appear on streaming services, like A Muppet Family Christmas.
"Why nostalgia will end with the things I'll be nostalgic about"
Today in not understanding things on a fundamental level....
I thought it ended with the 80’s, but then Saturday morning cartoons disappeared from broadcast tv, social media made my life less social, and computer use shifted from mostly internal tasks to a high reliance on the internet. Sure, how nostalgia is consumed will change, but it will constantly be shifting like this. The 80’s had some wild ideas about futurism and fashion, and then the 90’s seemed to go really plain and uninteresting, and then time passes and now its the 2000s that seem uninteresting or hard to quantify. My god, I can remember when there were no white or blue LEDs in the consumer market.
Preservation, HD Television and online streaming didn't really take off until the late 2000's, so there is still half a decade's worth of nostalgia left.
The early 2000's had little distinction from the late 90's.
There will ALWAYS be nostalgia no matter what age..... that said.... loved that Ren and Stimpy were well represented through out......
Nostalgia will never end. I already have nostalgia for 2013.
What do u miss about 2013?
I don't think nostalgia will go away anytime soon. I think when it comes to things like tv shows, trends and anything that defines a decade, will. Fashion is already mixed with previous fashions from multiple decades. Still have the 00's to go through. The thing with marketing off nostalgia is that it's never done right, or it shouldn't be done at all. It should be left in the past. That's why it only lasts a few years. Most people ask for a continuation, NOT a reboot when it comes to shows. Which is why everybody wants a reunion rather than a reboot. which is a huge issue in itself.
This video will not age well. The 2000s are becoming nostalgic next. By the 2030s people will look back at the 2010s with nostalgia.
I mostly disagree. Me and my girlfriend discussed the idea that people will always be nostalgic about the decades they grew up in. In the 2010's, people are nostalgic for the 90s, in the 2020's, people (like me) will remember the 2000s, and so forth. You get the idea. I don't think it will be any more marketable, but simply put, in the 2020's, I will be making movies on TH-cam Red about us 2000's kids growing up during the 9/11, and early internet era.
Half of the things people are nostalgic for that they think is the 90’s is stuff that actually came out in the 00’s making this point kinda moot
i think a lot of people these days are more into the late 90s-early 2000s Y2K type era stuff these days and not so much the early to mid 90s (which i prefer aesthetically tbh)
Nothing referred to in this video is from the 2000s.
90s culture kind of extended into 2003 when stuff like Rocket Power and Rugrats still being in the Nickelodeon lineups. Meanwhile, 80s culture extended into like mid 1993. After that period, baggy jeans moved in, stuff like Power Rangers and Beavis and Butthead came on to the scene. Hip Hop became more widespread. I mostly remember the 90s being utterly dominated by rap music.
Spongebob is shown many times in the video, and >90% of Spongebob has been since 2000.
Just coming back to this video in the year 2021 and I can say for certain that nostalgia did not die in the 90s!
I'm seeing so many early 2000s fashion trends come back, as well as a few tv show revivals such as iCarly. Lots of social media posts saying "remember THIS" pop up ever few days too lol.
I remember watching this video and thought it made such good points but ultimately I guess it was an off prediction lol.
Interesting thought piece. This really made me think. Thanks for sharing!
As a 90s kid, I have a lot of nostalgia for the 90s and some of the early 00s. Things were just a lot easier for me back then.
The problem with looking back on the last decade is nostalgic works in that twilight where things are wholly gone but only partly forgotten. Right now a lot of things from last decade aren't completely gone and the memory of them is still relatively fresh.
Remember DVDs, Netflix by mail, cable tv, Myspace, MP3 Players, Disney not owning everything... ah, the peaceful time before the singularity and getting dominated by our robot overlords.

being a 90s kid means i still grew up in the 2000s and i still exist now in the 2010s. i personally feel there's too much disparate experiences now to ever hold a unified zeitgeist era for the 2000s onwards. the internet made too many things too accessible and had given rise to instant gratification.
Ugandan Knuckles
uhm, i kind of don't care if the younger generation feel nostalgic or not. my point is that the internet changed history forever, and that includes pop culture and the way people experience things. 90s is pretty old tech and that had a direct effect on how people lived.
nostalgia has a great deal to do with the past being antiquated. gadgets otoh are here to stay for the coming decades i think. many things from the 90s are literally obsolete now. many things from 2000s are still commonplace today and won't likely become obsolete but would just be gradually upgraded.

that's the trouble with internet virality. once it's run its course, it's not viral anymore. like dead memes being dead memes.
edit:
also, youtube meddles with the top trending results.

sorry that this is hurting your feelings. it's almost 2019 already. 2020 isn't that far ahead. repeat virality just isn't really a thing.
youtube alone is home to countless subcultures. the internet is home to all sorts of things you can and can't think of, and many of these things are so accessible, and it's NOT a big deal at all that things are accessible.
what's nostalgic for you isn't likely going to be nostalgic for many other kids growing up in 00s and 10s.
sorry kid, cultural nostalgia probably won't be as massive for your generation as it was in the older generations.
There are large channels on TH-cam dedicated to preserving VHS footage of particular networks on particular days or seasons. These, I find, are remarkable; they preserve, pretty well, the state of media and entertainment at a very specific point in time. I do worry that our obsession with days gone by is stifling us, somehow, that we're moving retrograde toward an imaginary gilded past at the cost of both present and future. An obsession with used-to-be is unhealthy, specifically because trying to rekindle and snare those happier days leads us to neglect our present. Nostalgia is potent poison.
I agree. You can see this present in the movie industry. It's capitalizing on nostalgia by churning out uninspired remakes and reboots.
In my opinion there are subgenres of nostalgia some people really like 20s style stuff I mean look and steam punk, bioshock, and fallout games. people have looked back on eras and love the music and or styles because of the internet. Good video and I dont know what the future holds but I hope it's great
As a real 2000s baby,
I can definitely say in 2 years 2000s nostalgia will come at full force!!!
It's already happening!
But in my opinion, I'm perfectly fine if nostalgia clams down or is taken less seriously.
People need to stop living in the past.
With that said, nostalgia will never die.
Nah, people are nostalgic about the early to mid 2000s as well
Fat to Fierce mid 2000s sucked so much, I just forgot them.
Only early 2000s was good, and that is because of the 90s residue fueling the hype.
i still think we'll have nostalgia, it just may change. Hell I see young people nostalgic over the summer of 2016 all the time and I'm starting to feel nostalgia for my high school years (2007-2011). It may not be as strong as the 90's-00's but it'll definitely continue
To say Nostalgia end with the 90's is a pretty big statement, I mean as a new decade begins it never really goes away. #90sKid
i kind of agree with the points made in the video. cultural nostalgia is based on shared similar experiences and memories. internet-raised kids experience things very distinctly from others, and not to mention their culture of short attention span. kids today probably don't appreciate having to anticipate most of the media they consume, unlike before when kids looked forward to sitting up at the tv to watch a pre-programmed setlist of shows with all the commercials.
the way things are experienced now is very different to encapsulate in a neat generation-defining statement. i totally agree with what he said about monoculture and zeitgeist.

LOL no. people's attention span has never been more effed up than now.
@@maggyfrog The school I work at has Among Us references everywhere from both the students and teachers. If that's not monoculture then that's goalpost moving.

you're talking about NOW. that's not what nostalgia is. you missed the point. also, you're in a bubble. can you imagine how many kids these days don't care about that game or don't even play it? because there are way too many popular games now that it's almost impossible to have a real monoculture in the internet age. people who play cyberpunk 2077 don't necessarily care about the sims franchise, and people who are addicted to dark souls don't necessarily care about among us. i hate to say this mantra, but it's actually true that back in the 90s, if something really got popular worldwide, it's almost inescapably popular, and it didn't have to go internet viral so that kind of popularity didn't die after 15 seconds. pop songs then were popular everywhere. these days, you have niches. not everybody has heard of grimes even though she's big in her own niche. not everybody has heard of the hu band even though they are quite big in their own fanbase. back in the 90s, even if you're not a fan of a certain genre, you still know who's popular in that genre. today, there are way too many niches that it's more likely that you've never heard of something popular because you're invested in many other things. monoculture isn't a thing anymore, unless you count social media. and that sucks.
Nostalgia is like the sun. It stays up then it goes down. The nostalgia era will end with the 90s and 2000s and people will start to get creative again. Then the nostalgia craze will pick itself up again with in more than half a century and someone will make a video like this again.
the next decade (2020s) will celebrate the 2000s decade. Just like the previous decades celebrated the previous decades in our lives.
as someone born in 2005 i can officially say that everyone from the 2000’s remembers that spongebob episode where squidward says “FUUUTUREEE”
Haha that S we all used to draw starting with the 6 lines
Code Underground Stussy!
Its still around that ain't ever going to die out lol
Kids STILL draw it.
I have been wondering this too. Seems to me that the individual emotion of nostalgia will never go away, i mean soldiers in ancient times came from all different cultures... But collective nostalgia will become much weaker. There won't be a single narrative of history anymore, it'll become fractured and more divided. In order to relate to nostalgia you'll have to hunt down people from your subculture, or stick with the same communities all your life. Seems like even though the internet connected us, it's made it easier for us to divide
B.S. nostalgia will never die. It just moves to the next decade. The next generation will be nostalgic about dank memes and vaping fore sure.
for five minutes, maybe. i feel like kids who grew up in the 2000s onwards generally have short attention span and that constitutes to less nostalgia. instant gratification literally changes the brain and makes people's appreciation of things less meaningful.
how can you reminisce dank memes when part of meme culture is moving on from dead memes?
Not really, look how long Minecraft has been a thing. In 15 to 20 years it's going to be this generation's Super Mario Brothers.
ooh that's a good one. but still, maybe it's one of the few persistent icons of 2010s?
music-wise, it's not looking too bright in my humble opinion. i mean, mainstream music has lady gaga, miley cyrus, one direction, that sort of music... it's a bit depressing to think that future adults will look back to their childhoods and remember these "icons" of their day
There's plenty more, for example the original iPhone is going to be this generation's Nokia/Aol IM. These things still feel mondain to us because we're so close, but as time elapses these will become what this generation feels nostalgic about.
i don't entirely agree with gadgets as far as 00s and 10s. 90s and older tech were VERY low tech that most are now obsolete. 1st gen iphone is still an iphone and in concept it is still the same as smartphones today. the rapid innovations are inherently a part of why post 2000 era is WAY too different from 90s and back.
and it can't be overstated how much the internet has changed history drastically.
brick phones from the 90s are completely obsolete a decade later, whereas cellphones are actually still available today. i wouldn't call old iphones the "nokia phones" of 2000s since actual nokia phones were still common a decade ago. also, the first gen iphone was released in 2007 and while it's been continuously upgraded almost every year, the gadget pretty much remains the same product.
i'm not sure kids from 2000s have experienced a deluge of cultural and technological obsolescence as of yet, or in the near future.
nostalgia cannot die because even if other people aren't you personally will alway's be nostalgic for maybe not the era but, defiantly something from your childhood or teenage years or whatever like your moms cooking or old stores that you know are died and not coming back like blockbuster, and the internet itself keeps nostalgia alive.
I can totally see a period of nostalgia for the current decade (2010s). It will probably be a bittersweet, ironic satirical representation of a time when everyone was obsessively polarized, insulated, offended, paranoid, overly identified, exposed and hopelessly interconnected.
The other thing is that nostalgia seems to be based on the idea of culture going away, then being rediscovered, but with the Internet, it never has to go away. And the distance between is shorter. We’re rebooting shows that we’re just cancelled.
I just rediscovered The Littles and Kidd Video. They’re special, because I forgot about them. It’s like running into an old friend at the grocery store after a couple of decades.
Video didn’t age well cause 2000s nostalgia is already happening
There's whole channels dedicated to late 2000s and early 2010s nostalgia.
The early and late 2000s feel like different decades
@@doraeguyakaneddie6586 you could say that about any decade really. Early 2010s are totally different than the late 2010s
@@GNo03 Yea also I found a video on 3ds nostalgia
@@GNo03 some more than others. the early 50's and the late 50's are more alike than the early 60's and late 60's.
I’ve been thinking about this. Nostalgia will continue to exist but will never be the same.
Ehh it all comes down to perspective
2000's nostalgia is real too, PS2, GTA Vice City, Gamecube, Need For speed, The sims, spy hunter, myspace, AOL, Nintendo DS, PSP, Wii, 360.
I grew up in the 80's and early 90's and get nostalgic over things from the early 2000's
If my 11 year old niece and her classmates are anything to go by the monoculture is very much still a thing for most young developing minds.
Only now it's not some rad cartoons, it comes in the form of un-named controversial youtube vlog brothers...
Oh god... so is it true that they mostly only care for what's on their phone or tablet?
Kinda spooky.
I'd argue that there was a kind of 20s nostalgia going on in the 40s and 50s. You had movies like "Singin' in the Rain", "The Al Jolson Story" and "Some Like it Hot" that were all set in the 20s, plus a silent movie-revivalism where Buster Keaton (prominently featured in clips in the video) came back out from obscurity.
Also, strange as it might seem to speak of a 40s nostalgia considering the war then, the 60s saw quite a few movies that used WW2 as a backdrop for action-packed popcorn flicks, like "The Great Escape" and "Where Eagles Dare".
Fun video!
I want to see new ideas and experiments with music, movies, and all the other types of media instead of just regurgitation of other people's ideas. This whole reselling my childhood back to me is nauseating.
I'm an 80s to early 90s kid, but this movie still hit home.
This was an entertaining and informative video. Hats off to the whole crew.
No I completely disagree with this video. Nostalgia didn’t end in the 90s. We already have nostalgia for 00s and 10s after that.
The original iPod, flip phones, Paris and Nicole in The Simple Life, the iPhone 3G, low rise jeans, Limewire, Bebo… all this stuff an more was only 15-20 years ago, either way it was after the 90s and it seems so nostalgic to think about now. Facebook barely existed back then. Internet on your phone was almost impossible, it was pay as you go WAP. Instagram didn’t exist.
We will feel this way about today in the future too and it will keep happening again and again. You are so wrong.
There are already people nostalgic about the 2000’s.
I heard that people who are given less choices are actually happier than folks given endless amounts of choices because we can become crippled by them. I think this has a lot to do with why people were happier in earlier times such as the 90’s, we got what we got and didn’t throw a fit. Now you always have endless bouts of FOMO
After 2001 you just can’t do nostalgia the same and I’m sad since I was born in 2000 but the 80s nostalgia was rad, I formed a whole band just because of it
Does SpongeBob even count as a 90s TV show because it aired in 1999 in May but it wasn't on during the 90s it really started in the 2000s
Niki Bronson but the first season was the 90s
I would count Spongebob as 90's since the first season started in 1999.
@@bryans138 I would have to disagree. I was born in 1999 but I can't call myself a 90s kid because I didn't grow up in the 90s. I grew up in the 2000s and the 2010s
@@nikibronson133
Spongebob is definitely quintessential 2000s. The show peaked and became a phenomenon around 2001-2006. A lot of these 90s nostalgist idiots want to claim it just because it was around for a few months in 1999 even though they likely didn’t grow up with it. Spongebob was huge. Bigger than anything in the 90s like Rockos, Doug or any other forgotten show.
@@hypsomuskrat3882 yeah I would have to agree because I was born in 99 and I literally grew up watching SpongeBob until I was legitimately in high school and I even kind of watched some episodes now just for Nostalgia so yeah I would have to say that that's a 2000 or early 2010 cartoon and even honestly a cartoon of today because it's still one of the most popular cartoons on Nickelodeon
